Ooft I’ve got a feeling this may be a slightly controversial review, but I honestly couldn’t give this more than 3 stars.

The romance was great, I love Rune and Poppy, I think they are really cute together and to be honest, reading their story reminded me of what it felt like when I fell in love for the first time. That’s the great thing about young love, it feels so all-consuming, and I think Tillie perfectly captured that.

I think my main disappointment was I went into this book with a lot of high hopes, I’ve seen all of the videos of people literally sobbing, and if you know me, you know I’m a sucker for a book that breaks my heart and makes me sob, and well, it just didn’t happen for me. 

I think this was probably because the plot twist just happened way too soon, and then it kinda… dragged. By the time we’d got to the end I think I’d recovered from the heartbreak and it just made the ending disappointing for me.

Overall this was a cute read, but it wasn’t my favourite romance.
